About Me

“I am passionate about enabling female participation in play, active recreation, and sport. I graduated from Auckland University of Technology with a Master of Business in Sport Leadership and Management (Honours). After which, I completed two years on Sport New Zealand's highly sought after Graduate Programme. I am currently working as a Government Advisor for New Zealand Major Events at the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment. In my role, I oversee a portfolio of events and manage event investments over their full lifecycle. I am looking for opportunities to further develop and apply my knowledge of governance in play, active recreation, and sport, and help organisations create positive system change.”
